Hai Tac, Nam Du, Hon Son or Phu Quy islands have all become attractive destinations for tourists inside and outside the country in recent years.
1.Hai Tac Island
 With a ticket priced at just VND40,000, we came on board the Minh Nga Boat at Ha Tien Wharf in early afternoon to go to Doc Islet. Once on board, we could see the beautiful Ha Tien City with To Chau Mountain, Phao Dai Mountain, Binh San Hill, Den Mount and Nai Cape appearing like a magnificent great wall of nature.

Doc Islet is located in Tien Hai island commune in Ha Tien Town, Kien Giang Province. Combining with neighboring islands, Doc Islet has formed into Hai Tac Archipelago, which is also called Hai Tac Island, with an area of 1,100 hectares of land, including 16 islands off Ha Tien Town covering 11 nautical miles.

4. Phu Quy Island is located about 120km from Phan Thiet City to the east in Binh Thuan Province. Covering over 17km 2 with great potential, the island is considered the political, economic and cultural centre of the island district of Phu Quy.
During the day of calm sea, it takes tourists only about 5-6 hours by ship and only 3 hours by a high speed boat to arrive on the island.
Seen from the sea from different directions, the island looks like a floating city with interesting shapes, such as a dragon, a codfish or a giant whale swimming in the deep blue ocean.
Near Phu Quy Island are various small islands, named Hon Tranh, Hon Den, Hon Trung, Hon Giua and Hon Do.
In the past, the island was called different names, including Co Long, Thuan Tinh and Khoai Xu.
According to historical records, the island has been famous for its great potential. Since the 17th century many people from the mainland arrived on the island to claim the land and establish villages.
Located in the middle of the East Sea, Phu Quy Island has a strategic position in terms of national defence and security of Binh Thuan Province in particular and of the nation in general.

6. Bird Island
About 70 kilometers from Quang Binh Province’s Dong Hoi City, there is a deserted island called Chim (Bird) or Gio (Wind) Island that is home to many sea birds.

Two different boat services are available from Dong Hoi City to the island.
A four-hour boat leaves from Nhat Le-Dong Hoi seaport and there is a two-hour service from Canh Duong seaport in Quang Trach District.

The sky above the rocky island is always full of birds that nest there. Standing on the highest rock, the view goes forever in every direction, just miles of sea and endless sky.

Far from your computer you can sit and gaze on the ocean, listening to the waves and birds.

8.Hon Ngu Island
Ngu Island lies over 4km from the coastal. The Island consists of two small islets. The bigger one is 133m above the sea level, and the smaller one is 88m. Phan Huy Chu wrote: Twin Banks Mountain locating in Hoi Thong seaport looks like two fishes. So, it’s called Twin Fishes. Local people simply name it as Ngu Island or Ngu islet
If we want to have an overview of the Island clearly, we have to stand from river marina. Cua Lo river’s main branch originates from western branch, and flows through Huong Van, Phan Thanh. After distributing water to Le dynasty cannal, the river crosses Thien Ly road being National Highway N0 1A in Cau Cam now, and then runs between Dau Voi and Cam mountains. Flowing near to the sea, it meets Dung mountain, and then Lang Kho one locating at the Northern bank. So, it bends itself to the South and then flow to the sea. Proverb says that: the landscape consisting of mountain and river is very interesting. There are not only river and mountain, but bluish green sea.
